Lines of Life Project, 2007
The project involved seniors in a creative process of sharing life experiences expressed in words of wisdom and photographs of seniors taken by seniors. From April 2006 to February 2007, workshops were held at eleven community centres citywide. The workshops were designed and taught by Kim Goodliffe(Writer) and Vicki Moulder(Digital Artist). Each session was two hours long for six weeks and were for seniors 60+ years. In workshops, people learned the technical skills to use a digital camera and explored the relationships between images, text, and meaning.
Over seventy digital photographs and text pieces were shown by seniors at the exhibition's opening reception in the Gerry Thorne Hall, Roundhouse Community Centre.
